Seeking a drawing artist to draw me a bamboo structure

[marinpa]

I believe they call them architects???

Looking for an architect to draw an open sala is more like "killing a mosquito with a cannon", as Confucius once said.

As for the permit there is no need as the structures are going to be erected on a private property and used by "Only by invitation" members

Curious statement.....I'm presently building a boutique resort on "private property".....so, according to your statement, if it was to be used by "Only by invitation" members I would not have needed a permit?????????

Sounds like you not only need an "architect" for you drawings ....but maybe need to consutt with an "Attorney" as to the legality of such improvements!

As for the building permits for a sala, according to the Building Control Act and the Town and City Planning Act, as long as a structure erected on a private property is not permanent, and providing is not used for commercial purposes, is not fitted with fans, lighting, speakers, electrical sockets, solar power, etc is considered a temporary structure, much more as a tool shed or carport, thus there in no need for permit.

Only commenting on those things said by you!

Yes, you are right in your last comment that a temporary structure needs no permit. BUT your prior comment about permits was dribble and wrong ....That's all I pointed out.... obviously you don't like being called out, or being held accountable for what you say....Again, why did you post on a forum, where we are ALL entitled to say what we like !

So to answer your post (for the third time!) ...a drawing artist for the purpose of erecting a structure is usually done by what we call in the west an "architect" ...And yes I know a few.... but since your so private, don't know where you are, which is an important fact if you really want assistance. Then again many local areas have magazines where "architects" advertise, or the local building store where craftsmen (maybe including an "architect") post their cards.

Hey good luck anyway....you'll need it as you seem out of your depth if the simple task of finding an architect is beyond your ability!

I presume then that the ability to draw up a sketch yourself is also beyond your capabilities!

PS...Thai architects ....or draftsmen....are not as expensive as you might think. Had the technical drawings, with enigeering and local permit fee done for 15,000 baht (5 unit 400 sq meter structure).

I would be rather able to stitch myself up than draw a straight line.... Lol!!!!!

The reason I need the help of a professional drawing artist is that eventually I am going to use his/her drawing to render it into a 3D image

Sounds like your mosquito is getting bigger and bigger.....maybe you need a canon to kill it (Confucious?)

All kidding aside.....find a local architect or draftsman (again ...don't know where you are). Most if not all use some sort of CAD computer program for their design projects which can render it into a 3D image with the click of a mouse. Not that expensive for the simple project you're doing ...or so I would think

Just a thought....if you had been more specific in your original post the replies would have been more helpful....as I said....Just a thought

Have you considered making it yourself?

Easy to knock up, unless you have zero skills.

I don't think building something like the one pictured above is for a novice. By the time you've spent a week hunting around for the right timber, roofing etc and kitted yourself out with all the necessary tools, it would be far cheaper to spend 30,000 baht and buy a ready-made one.

I was talking about the bamboo version, not the one in the picture.

Even totally unskilled Thai people can make up a bamboo one. Around the Chiang Mai reservoir there are seemingly hundreds of them along the water's edge. Would only cost in the low thousands of baht to make.

BTW, I already have the necessary tools, and all the materials are available from any local building supply place to make one. I just don't have anywhere to put one.

[thaibeachlovers]

The bamboo made ones are very long lasting, and only a fraction of the price about 4000-6000 baht.

you will have to replace the straw roof every 2 years, this is a far cheaper option

This is correct!! I was quoted between 4-6000 bath, depending on the design and required floor size.

That is the reason I need a technical drawing, to show the builder the exact design and measurements, so that I can get an accurate estimate of the required material and building cost. I need 10 of those structures.

With an accurate technical design a builder can tell me exactly the number of pieces, lengths and diameters of the required bamboo for one structure.

I've seen the wooden version mass produced for sale by the side of the road all over. Should be a bamboo version available already made if you ask around, or at least someone that already makes them.

[IMHO]

@OP: Why don't you just get your contractors to make one of them, changing the design as needed until you are happy, then work out the extra materials you'll need to build another 9 of them?

That's the way a Thai would do it...

[kannot]

I need the effin drawing for more than one e f f reasons.

One of them is already in the previous effin posts, namely the desired hexagonal design, as oppose to the presented one, which is rectangular.

By having a detailed drawing, the bamboo wholesaler is able to determine exactly the number of bamboo beams, diameter, length, colour, etc.

Are those ( for now)enough <deleted> reasons? There are few more...

As for the permit there is no need as the structures are going to be erected on a private property and used by "Only by invitation" members

Great stuff, welcome to Thailand.

Go for it sounds as if you have it all sussed out, no need to come here and vent your spleen.

As for permit, you know e f f all about Thailand, I pray to my buddha you are about to erect this next door to me.

Cant wait for the local or Bor Tor to show up and ask for your planning permission, best of luck, clueless.

Hope you have plenty of brown envelopes handy to make under the table payments to the locals.

3km from a main road u need NO permit or permissions to build anything by me on land title ns3, Ive already done 2 houses and a third of 300m2 is about to be started, confirmed by head of village and land office.

Location 20km south of Hua HIn

Oh, how I love those informative, relevant to the original post, non condescend answers!

Thank you for sharing Khun Kannot!

OP ....I know your only looking for a "drawing artist" and that you seem set on "Bamboo"....

BUT just thought it interesting to see the following post made recently

"Does anyone know where in Chiang Mai I can buy treatment for eradicating "powder post beetles" which are destroying my bamboo furniture from the inside out? Perhaps you have had this problem, too? Any advice on how you overcame this nasty problem would be greatly appreciated, thank you!"

Seems as though bamboo is NOT as long lasting as you may think.....

Just a thought!

Though I am not a bamboo specialist, from what I understand, the initial treatment is very, very important. Borax / boric acid solution is used the most.

However, In Vietnam, some untreated bamboo structures/poles are over 50 years old. In Japan, are some known bamboo structures dating 200 years ago.

There are documented evidence from the Cook Islands, of a bamboo structure, house, helding up against a 173 mph hurricane winds and tsunami like waves and where all other nearby conventional wood frame were demolished.
